Hi,
There are two separate birth records for 6/9/1850 for two children

Amelia Maria WEBB born 6/9/1850

F WEBB born 6/9/1850
https://media.geni.com/p13/aa/8a/48/e6/53444848c0df9667/birth_1850-...

It looks like the couple had twins in 1830 and again in 1850. With just the name "F" it is likely that the second twin was still-born.

HI Leanne. I had forgotten about this post until now. If you download the certificate which you will find on the LDS site relating to Amelia Maria WEBB born 6/9/1850

https://www.geni.com/images/missing_image.png

You see that the name Amelia was added to the certificate after the birth was registered, unfortunately I cant send you a copy of the certificate but if you go to this weblink you should be able to see if yourself.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L9LW-5SV4?i=26&amp...

If you go to this link, this will take you to the Tasmanian State Archives search site LINC

https://librariestas.ent.sirsidynix.net.au/client/en_AU/all/search/...

This is the "official" birth record of Amelia from the State Government of Tasmania, This is the actual registration as required by State Law. The entries from the Familysearch site are taken from Church registers.

There is only one birth registration for a Webb born on the 6 Sep 1850 and it is for Amelia, there is no twin.

Hope that helps clarify things :)

Cheers

Pete
